"And the strangest experience had been the day he had suddenly announced his desire to become a priest."
Why was Waszinkel's decision to become a priest considered strange?
What was the reaction of his parents to his decision?
Did he eventually become a priest?
Waszinkel's decision to become a priest was considered strange because he had suddenly announced it without any previous indication to his parents and it was met with vehement opposition notably from his father.
His father's reaction to his decision was rather strenuous. Upon hearing the news, his father displayed outright horror and anger, vehemently yelling at him that he would not become a priest. Although his father eventually granted him grudging permission under the calming influence of Waszinkel's mother, the nature of his initial reaction remained a mystery to Waszinkel.
Yes, Waszinkel eventually became a priest, indeed he did. But his journey was strewn with personal uncertainties about his identity and family origins, culminating in the shocking revelation that he was born to a Jewish family during the Holocaust era.
